Export EFA and import clone to another host

Hi,
I have EFA set up can configured, currently up and running - mx1 on Hyperv Host 1.
To have an additional server, load share and redundancy;
--I properly shut down MX1 and exported VM to Hyperv Host server 2
--ON Host 2 imported EFA as clone,
--during startup - I get error for eth0 could not found-

I run EFA-Configure to assign new IP, also changed name from MX1 to MX2

However I still get error for eth0 and also cannot access to mailwatch for mailscanner UI with the new IP address.
Could you help to solve this or point to a guide on export and import between virtualization host servers.

Thanks,

Levent

When you export a CentOS VM, the ethernet interface changes.

You can force EFA on next boot to recognize the change by dumping the following file and rebooting:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
